The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly criticised the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over its ongoing internal crisis, stating that the opposition party is solely responsible for its current challenges.
In a statement issued on Thursday, APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, described the ADC as a party plagued by confusion and internal disarray, dismissing its recent allegations against the ruling party as baseless.
The APC’s response comes amid heightened political tension following accusations by the ADC that the ruling party was working with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to weaken opposition forces ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Rejecting the claims, Morka said the ADC’s crisis was self-inflicted, stemming from what he described as a failure to adhere to due process and manage its internal affairs effectively.
He referenced the leadership dispute involving David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola, arguing that their emergence within the party violated its constitutional provisions and triggered the current instability.
According to the APC, INEC’s decision to withdraw recognition of the Mark-led faction was in compliance with a court order and aligned with established electoral guidelines.

“It is highly irresponsible for the ADC to blame others for its internal woes, of which they are the sole architects,” the statement noted.
The ruling party further criticised the ADC’s capacity as a political platform, asserting that a party unable to resolve its own internal disputes cannot effectively govern or provide credible alternatives to Nigerians.
Morka also accused the ADC of focusing more on attacking the APC than presenting policy ideas or solutions to national challenges, describing the opposition party as lacking direction.
Despite the criticism, the APC reaffirmed its commitment to governance under President Bola Tinubu, stating that the administration remains focused on implementing its “Renewed Hope Agenda” and strengthening democratic institutions.
The exchange highlights growing political friction between the ruling party and opposition groups as Nigeria gradually approaches the 2027 general elections.
